Monsieur Clean

W's beauty director looks to Hermès for a go-to gift.

Several of my French friends are big on giving Hermès ashtrays as hostess gifts, but the porcelain beauties are a bit pricey for my budget. So I was thrilled to find Le Bain Hermès, a set of three soaps available in a choice of nine fragrances. At $57, Parisian luxury has never been so affordable.
